Here's some good reasons to give it a try:

• This is a delicious, super refreshing drink, perfect for hot days.

• This homemade recipe isn't too sweet, but it can be adjusted to your liking.

• The Starbucks drink version uses peach syrup and green tea concentrate, we'll use real peaches to make a homemade peach juice.

• This is an easy recipe, with nothing more than green tea, peaches, store-bought lemonade and ice cubes.

  Ingredients your need: (full recipe and instructions are below)

  • Green Tea: You'll need a cup for two servings, steeped for about 5 minutes to make it concentrated. Filtered water is best if possible.

  • Peaches: Just 2-3, plus extra for garnish.

  • Lemonade: Small bottles are available at most grocery stores, or make homemade lemonade instead.

  • Honey: A touch of honey is the perfect little bit of sweetness in this recipe.

• Use other types of tea if you'd prefer, like lemon verbena, black tea or Earl Grey.

• Be sure to peel your peaches before you puree, otherwise you''ll have dark specs from the skin throughout the drink.

• If you don't have fresh peaches, try canned peach pulp or nectar, found in well-stocked grocery stores.

• If you want this drink sweeter, just add more honey.

Can I make this tea in advance?

Yes! It'll taste fresh for 1-2 days, refrigerated.

Can I use other teas besides green?

You sure can. Try black tea, Earl Gray or even Lemon Verbena tea for variation.
